Happy St patrick's Day everyone. A little joke to lighten your day:
A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
"Why of course," comes the reply. The first man then asks: "Where are you from?""I'm from Ireland," replies the second man. The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of Course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62.""This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

Pictures from the top of the Calgary Tower
Hey family,
Marielena's Aunt Carmel was here on a business trip a couple of weekends ago and as part of her whirlwind tour of Calgary, we went to the top of the Calgary Tower.
Our tower which is just 525 feet up to the observation deck is just a baby compared to the CN Tower in Toronto which is 1136 to the observation deck. Still, it provides a spectacular panoramic view of the entire city and the Rocky Mountains.
The first few pics are of downtown including Bankers Hall, the TD Towers, the Telus Tower, etc. The fourth pic includes City Hall on the right hand side. It's a glass building shaped like steps. The fifth pic is the Saddledome where our beloved Flames play. It was a bit overcast that day, so the one picture I have with the mountains of on the horizon is a bit hazzy, but you can see them. It's the sixth picture down. The seventh pic is looking straight down through the recently installed glass floor section. You can see the base of the tower and the passing traffic at the corner of Center St. and 3rd Ave. I took some video while standing on the glass floor but unfortunately it can't seem to be posted on the Blog. The final pic is looking up from the base of the tower after we left.
While up there, we enjoyed brunch in the revolving restaraunt. It takes one hour to make a complete revolution, so we took our time to enjoy the full 360 degree view.
